I hate children. They are annoying and I just don't want anything
that high maintenance, ever. That's exactly what I tell people when they ask
when I am planning on having children. The assumption that I want one by default
is frustrating enough by itself. People are filled with disbelief when I express
my dislike of children in general and lack of desire for one of my own. They do
not believe me and say 'oh you'll change your mind' or say something insulting
like 'I don't see how anyone can have a full life without children'. Its because
I am a woman of course, I am supposed to turn to jelly when I see a slobbering
infant because its simply impossible for a woman not to want kids.
I've been told that as a woman it's my 'nature' to love children, I 'need
something to nurture', or I will feel incomplete. Bullshit, I say. Plenty of
people have kids and realize it wasn't for them after the fact. Maybe if
other people were smart enough to realize that parenthood isn't for them there
would be fewer children of irresponsible parents shelling out hundreds of
dollars for therapy right now. The expectation of wanting children is
troublesome for that reason.
If I can finally convince someone that I am genuine about disliking
children, they automatically think I am a monster. I challenge every idiotic
stereotypical notion they have about women. I am sure its scary for them, being
too stupid to comprehend that I am happy not being the kind of woman that
everyone wants me to be, so of course they think I am strange or bad. I know I
am not the one with the problem, that's for damn sure.
